what are you ladies doing about lingerie? where are you purchasing it? are you wearing any under the dress? I think I will be WAY too hot for that, so I'm sorta looking for a cute pair of undies. Anyone find anything cute?

but, the two bathing suits i ordered from newport news arrived earlier this week and they're great! one is the swimdress mentioned earlier in this thread (it's a great suit!), and the other is a black bandeau suit with a white bow (i bought black swim shorts from walmart to wear over it).

Oooh, I'm liking this thread. Do you have access to Target in Canada? I know they sometimes have some good stuff. I buy all of my swim suits from Target and have never had an issue. However, their sizing seems to be a little on the small size, so I usually go up one. I, too, am a 22/24 and I freaking hate to shop. All three of my BMs put together weigh about the same as one of my thighs.

David's Bridal offers plus size wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses and they are pretty cheap. I think they offer a catalog for those outside of the US.

I got my suits from Newport News!! They are literally like the only bathing suits that will support my big boobs... You can find plus size suits in a lot of places, but not ones that give good support...

Oh, and I have the bandeau swimdress from Newport News... I loveee it... I just bought another one... it even holds up the girls when the nexk thing isn't tied... I need to see if I have a pic of me in it from Mexico...

I'm glad the Newport News bathing suits are working out. I'm seriously thinking of purchase the swimdress myself now! Unless it's all sold out, since I let the cat out of the bag.

I purchase undies from Lane Bryant. They have an online website, but I'm not sure if they ship to Canada. They have the functional underwear, but lately, they have been coming up with more sexy stuff for the women... best time to shop with them for the sexy stuff is around Valentine's Day though! They can be a bit pricey! But I don't like to skimp on the undies.

Great stuff ladies!! Keep it coming. I am sooooooooo in love with this thread! It's nice to know that I'm not the only one out there like me. All my family and friends are slimmer than I, so I don't think that they understand what it's like sometimes. You gals are great! Thanks for all the support.

For the ones that bought the bathing suits from Newport News - how are the sizes?
